The majority of the outages were in Oakland County, where about 90,000 were without power. About 50,000 were without power in Wayne County, 23,000 in Washtenaw County and 17,000 in Macomb County. The remaining outages are scattered throughout DTE Energy’s service area.

DTE spokesman Alehandro Bodipo-Memba said Michigan crews that have been helping restore power in Ohio and along the East Coast have been called back to this area.

This is the fourth storm that has hit the area in the last 48 hours, affecting more than 320,000 customers in total. DTE estimated more than 1,000 power lines were down Thursday morning.

DTE’s Scott Simons said lineman have been working around the clock following several storms in two days. He said crews will continue to work 16-hour shifts through the weekend to restore service.

“These guys are working in tremendous heat. They’re carrying 60 pounds of equipment up a pole. They’re a dedicated bunch,” said Simons. “It’s really a laborious process. It’s just one of those things where we just keep getting slammed over and over again.”
